The second part will list further improvements and bug fixing, and will follow in the next days.
Happy reading!

Whispering Island

The Adventure Whispering Island is here!

This new content should satisfy those of you who are already high level and have been waiting for new challenges.

Developed for characters level 95 and higher you will meet a new type of monsters, the Whisperers. These little creatures originating from Amakna were driven out of their land and had to cross the sea to find a new home. Only problem, it was already populated with Cracklers! But whisperers are pugnacious unstoppable creatures: they just decided to settle on the Cracklers. That’s right, ON the Cracklers…

If you want to know more about the history of the Whisperers, you can read this devblog, dedicated to them.

Before you set to discover this new area, here are some numbers:

• 4 exclusive dungeons to explore, the Whisper Crisper, the Crackapult Range, The Rock and the Hushquarters,
• 7 new monsters to beat, such as the Infantry and Crossbow Whisperers, or the Whispered Crackrock.
• 12 quests to discover,
• 8 achievements to complete, like “Murmurasa” that will ask you to find Stone of Murmurs on the island,
• 4 new special emotes relating to the Whisperers,
• 55 new items to collect, including the new Fortified Set,
• 3 titles to earn, such as “Hoarse Whisperer”,
• And countless numbers of Whisperers to smash!

Word of advice: don’t judge them on their size!

Monsters families renewed!

Monsters groups in the Fertile Prairie of Amakna, the Cania Plains of Bonta, the Mourning Wood of Brakmar and the Terrana Dune of Sufokia will be changed!

You’ll find the same families but the groups will be slightly changed, for a better game experience.

Rebalancing of the Mobile Arenas experience

We listened to your feedback concerning the Mobile Arenas and the benefits they could bring.

This is why we decided to implement a global rebalancing in order to increase the experience gain with Mobile Arenas.

Prepare your Bronze Tokens!

Krosmaster Rooms and Haven-Worlds locations

Form October 2^nd, the Krosmaster rooms will be open in all gambling joints of the nations!

Before the big day, you will be able to visit these rooms and accustom to the table, the chairs, and the decoration before the frenzy of the competition seizes you…

 

Also, you will also be able to discover the locations of the Haven-Worlds! These will start appearing and be available for you to see in game on the market bridges of the nations. They’re not for sale yet! But this should help you get ready and decide the location you’ll try to acquire… You will have more information on the Haven-Worlds soon with a complete devblog!
